Evan Drellich joins Friar Territory with details on the new Padres owner takeover, MLB labor strife Jun 25, 2026

Show notes

Friar Territory welcomes in The Athletic's Evan Drellich, who discusses why the pending Padres sale to Kwanza Jones and Jose E. Feliciano hasn't gone through yet and when we should expect it to be finalized.

Evan then breaks down the latest proposal by MLB owners to reduce the domestic draft, cut out high schoolers, and introduce an international draft. How ugly could this dispute get and should we expect an even longer work stoppage than 1994? Evan also discusses the Padres being used as a poster boy by the MLBPA for spending money on a franchise, and if we should expect the next owners to spend the way Peter Seidler did.
